The Diary Entry for The Pale November Sun:

"Painted November 1935. Painting of November road edged with rows of maples and stone wall; side road running by the Halifax, Vt. House. Bought by Mrs. Wm. H. Moore's sister in 1937 from among a number I sent down to New York (by Fabian in my car) for Mrs. Moore to see. Mrs. Moore's sister is Mrs. Lora J. Knight, Santa Barbara, California."

House in Halifax, 1936

Editor's Note:

For some background, Woodward and his driver would venture over the state line to Vermont on occasion using Massachusetts SR-8A through Heath to Halifax, VT... or to Marlboro, VT, Whitingham, VT, etc. Exploring Halifax one day around 1932 he found an abandon farm on Jacksonville Stage Road that he fell in love with and painted numerous studies of, including the painting House in Halifax, to the left.
